Week 20 - 21 (January 16 - 27)

Visiting the State House
What a great day to visit the state house! The weather was beautiful! The kids had a great time visualizing and seeing in person, the things that they had learned in class. They were in awe at the beauty of the state house. However, I think that they enjoyed being able to interact with the tour guide when he asked questions in regards to revolutionary and Civil War heroes. That were so excited that they knew most of the answers. 

March on Washington Simulation
In order to honor Martin Luther King Jr. we simulated a March on Washington. The kids really enjoyed the march and discussing the parallels between this march and the things that are happening in our society today. 

Area
Now that the kids are feeling quite confident with the area of regular rectangular shapes, we have begun looking at the area of irregular shapes. This has proven a challenge for the kids, but we are continuing to work at it. 

Arts Day
Arts day was a blast! The kids were able to participate in so many fun and engaging activities!
